Fire Damage Clean-up

You've had a fire. The fire department has actually come, put the fire out and all you see is one huge mess. Upon closer examination questions come.

I. What method do we use to get rid of the soot and charcoal to examine the damage?

- High pressure water blasting leaves behind water in electrical elements, equipment and insulation, if not correctly removed will trigger undesirable corrosion and rot, increasing cleanup, damage and long term maintenance expenses.

- Soda blasting leaves water and soda behind, which requires additional clean-up, increasing clean-up, damage and long term maintenance expenses.

- Sand blasting leaves abrasive blast media behind, which if not tidied up appropriately continues to trigger damage in electrical components, equipments and bearings. It continues to fall from horizontal surfaces, fractures and beams years after the task is done, increasing cleanup, damage and long term

upkeep costs.

- Dry ice blasting is the supreme surface area cleaning procedure, it leaves no secondary waste stream behind. The only clean-up after the dry ice blasting job is done is the elimination of the debris caused by the fire.

II. How do we eliminate the soot, charcoal and smoke film from masonry and steel surfaces?

- Again this is an exceptional application for solidified carbon dioxide blasting. Enjoy the film Water Damage Specialist clips on our web site to see how solidified carbon dioxide blasting cleans soot, smoke and charcoal from various types of surface areas.

III. Will we have the ability to remove that terrible smoke odor?

- The removing of the smell is accomplished by removing the odor source and/or sealing the odor source to encapsulate it. Solidified carbon dioxide blasting eliminates the soot, charcoal and smoke movie, which is the smell source, from accessible locations.

- During a fire air currents carry smoke and soot into fractures, openings and locations not in close distance to the fire itself, extra cleaning and/or sealing of these locations and unattainable areas may be needed.

IV. Can we accomplish our clean-up without adding dangers to our environment?

- Dry ice blasting is safe and environmentally friendly. Solidified carbon dioxide is pure CO2 in its solid state, it is in its gaseous state in the air around us. When we inhale our bodies use the oxygen and we exhale CO2. Green plants take CO2 from the air and produce oxygen.

- Dry ice blasting is non-toxic, non-conductive and there is no staff member direct exposure to hazardous cleaning chemicals or services. Dry ice blasting satisfies the guidelines of the USDA, EPA, and the FDA.

You've had a fire. The fire department has actually come, put the fire out and all you see is one huge mess.- Dry ice blasting is safe and ecologically friendly. Dry ice is pure CO2 in its solid state, it is in its gaseous state in the air around us. Green plants take CO2 from the air and provide off oxygen.
